Apple iOS 16 software update brings back the much-requested battery indicator on iPhones. Introduced on June 6 at WWDC, the next-generation version of iOS was released to the public on September 12.
Besides that, the update introduced redesigned and customisable Lock Screens with widgets, the ability to edit and delete messages, improved Focus modes, an iCloud Shared Photos Library for families, major improvements for apps like Mail, Home, and Wallet, and much more.
However, not all iOS 16 eligible iPhones will get the battery indicator in the status bar. In a supported document, Apple says that iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 mini, and iPhone 13 mini don’t display battery percentage.
The battery percentage display icon was dropped with the launch of iPhone X in 2018. The new toggle for battery indicator can be found within the Settings app in the Battery option. It allows users to always see the device’s battery percentage status in the status bar directly. At present, a user has to swipe down into the Control Centre to see the battery level on iPhones.
Here’s the list of models that are getting it:
-
iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max
-
iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max
-
iPhone X, iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max
-
iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max
-
iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus
-
iPhone SE (2nd Generation) and iPhone SE (3rd Generation)
Here’s how to enable the battery indicator on your device:
Step 1 – Open Setting on your iPhone
Step 2- Go to the battery section
Step 3 – Look for Battery percentage option and turn on the toggle. You will now start seeing the battery percentage in your iPhone’s status bar

Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is likely working on a new update that will allow users to create polls in chat.
With this feature, which is under development, group participants will be able to share polls with other members of the group. It will be possible to add up to 12 options but this value may change before the release of the feature, reports WABetaInfo.
This feature is under development so it is not ready to be released to beta testers.
As per the report, an entry point for the feature will be available within the usual chat action sheet where you can find all other media sharing options and it opens the section that we spotted during the development of WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.10.11.
A recent report said that WhatsApp is likely working on a feature that will add a new camera shortcut for iPhone users on their app.
A screenshot showed that the camera shortcut is placed within the navigation bar and it will show up for those users that can already create a community in the future.
It looks exactly like the one implemented on WhatsApp beta for Android (but since there was a bug, it has temporarily been removed in another update), the report had said.

Tech giant Google is said to be working on a new Pixel mini smartphone that might come with a small screen.
According to GizmoChina, the leaker said this device is codenamed ‘neila’. It features a centered punch-hole display and the visor-like rear design found on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 family of handsets.
Unfortunately, it is unknown whether the smartphone is part of the Pixel 7 series. Therefore, it may or may not be called the Pixel 7 Mini.
As per the report, upcoming Google products are generally spotted in the codebase. In the case of the Pixel Mini, it is yet to be found inside the software.
Meanwhile, Google is all set to announce new Pixel 7 smartphones with the second-generation chip as well as the Pixel Watch on October 6.

Tech giant Microsoft has created a sample app for teams that allow people to sign documents during remote meetings.
According to Windows Central, the application lets users add a document to a meeting for attendees to sign, such as a purchase agreement, invoice, or NDA.
The sample app was made by Teams Ecosystem Engineering as a proof of concept aimed at independent software vendors (ISVs) or other customers implementing it.
The entire project is available and documented on GitHub, which should help organisations that would like to use it within meetings, the report said.
The app allows users to add a document to a meeting to be reviewed or signed by attendees. It supports Teams single-sign-on (SSO) for authentication.
The report mentioned that it also supports sharing content during a meeting stage, adaptive cards, and the Teams people picker.
Microsoft noted that the app could be adapted to work with other scenarios that require signing off, such as reviewing and approving code or working together on a document.
The sample app is currently available for desktop clients of Teams. Mobile and web support is on the way, though Microsoft did not specify when in its Tech Community post announcing the feature, the report said.
Currently, the app only works with users from the same organisation or tenant. Guest and anonymous user support are also on the way, it added.

The US Senate Homeland Security Committee grilled executives from Meta, TikTok, YouTube and Twitter over privacy and moderation failures on their respective platforms in recent years, saying that they “keep avoiding sharing really very important information with us”.
TikTok COO Vanessa Pappas, Twitter General Manager of Consumer and Revenue, Jay Sullivan, Meta Chief Product Officer Chris Cox and YouTube Chief Product Officer Neal Mohan testified before the panel late on Wednesday.
“I’ll be honest, I’m frustrated that all of you (who) have a prominent seat at the table when these business decisions are made were not more prepared to speak to specifics about your product development process, even when you are specifically asked if you would bring specific numbers to us today,” lamented committee Chair Senator Gary Peters.
TikTok COO Pappas testified for the first time before lawmakers.
According to TechCrunch, the hearing explored the platforms’ impact on national security and also grilled them on domestic extremism and misinformation to Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) and China.
Senator Alex Padilla questioned Meta’s Cox about the safety efforts outside of the English language.
“In your testimony you state that you have over 40,000 people working on trust and safety issues. How many of those people focus on non English language content and how many of them focus on non US users?” Padilla asked.
Cox didn’t provide an answer.
Twitter’s Sullivan also declined to specifically deny accusations that the company “willfully misrepresented” information given to the US FTC. Twitter is engaged in a little legal battle with Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
“I can tell you, Twitter disputes the allegations,” Sullivan said.
TikTok also refused to agree that the company sends user data to China, including ByteDance employees.
Senator Josh Hawley also asked Pappas about the company’s ties with the Chinese government.
